Bernice replaced her watch and looked
back in the direction of the house. Blay-
more, her own chauffeur, had drawn up
her runabout car near the terrace steps
awaiting her orders. She could not see
him through the trees, and she knew in
stinctively that he was watching her. A
sign or c^y would bring him to her side
if necessary, but even his strength and
loyalty would avail her little against
the Japanese doctor’s meditated plan of
action. *
“You demand from me something
which is not in my possession.” she
said at last. “It is in the keeping of
the operating surgeon—at present in r*y
house.”
The Japanese doctor had read the
morning papers. Fabian Kromer’s
critical condition had been commented
on by many of the leading journals, to
gether with some interesting particulars
of the Swiss specialist's use of a new
radio-active element during certain
stages of the operation. A miracle in
modern surgery had been accomplished,
and the fame of Rochwarnc had been
dashed across Europe and America.
Hammersho had gritted at the news.
The god of healing had been filched
from his very finger tips after his
almost supernatural efforts to seize and
hold it. The spark of Zen had brought
everlasting renown to anothef. Yet
there remained one solitary chance.
Once his fingers closed over the radin-
um-god he would fly to America. Al
ready he was the only living person
who possessed the details of its manu
facture. With the formula and the su
per-radium in his keeping he could enter
upon his colossal scheme for blackmail
ing wealthy incurables, many of whom
were already clamoring for the Zeu-
treatment. It was Bernice who had
shattered his plans, her woman's brains
had so far outwitted his own!
"I know,” he declared almost fiercely,
"that you have utilized the radium-
god on Fabian Kramer’s behair. You
must return it to me—now!’
It is in Doctor Rochwarne’s keep
ing,” Bernice admitted. ‘‘The Zeu will
not be given back to me until Fabian
is quite out of danger.”
Hammersho saw in a flash that he
was beating against iron walls, that
this soft-eyed Englisnwoman would
risk imprisonment, death itself, rather
than endanger Fabians life. Yet, while
willing to grant her a fews days, re
spite, he was determined to possess
some guarantee of faith, ne spoke a
'few words in a hoarse whisper, to
O’Shani Ma, in the tonneau, then flung
round to Bernice.
"On one condition will I allow you
another three days to hold the Zeu,
Madame Kromer.”
“I am willing to accept any reason
able terms you may impose, Doctor
Hammersho. Fabian’s life must not be
jeopardized.'*
"Give me your check for two thou
sand pounds, madame. On the day you
return the Zeu to me I will hand you
back the check.”
In a flash Bernice saw her chance.
She could sign a check In her own name
and allow him to hold it until Fabian
was completely out of danger. Bidding
him wait a little, she returned to the
house and filled in'a check on Fabian’s
bank, then, without haste or perturba
tion, returned to her visitor.
The Jap doctor took the check, and
after a few words of caution in regard
to her past and future movements dis
appeared with his tumbril-like car
through the lodge gates.
Bernice hurried to her own car and
ordered Blaymore to drive to Twyford,
where the ordeal of an inquest awaited
her.
CHAPTER XVI.
Bernice never afterward quite forgot
the dismal assembly of coroner and
jurors. Through the reeking fumes of
tobacco smoke she heard their voices
discussing the various points in rela
tion to Maurice Engleheart’s mysterious
end. Her examination proved a futile
affair. While the coroner admitted that
death had been caused by the use, acci
dental or otherwise, of a powerful ra
dio-active substance, the exact manner
of its application or use could not be
determined.
During the intervals and after the
inquest had been resumed Bernice
trembled secretly lest some prying de
tective should seek to interrogate Dr.
Rochwarne or his confrere. • She saw
with her woman’s instinct that the
Swiss* specialist held the one link which
might associate her -with Caleret’s mur
der. The Zeu was in her keeping, the

Jacksonville, - Fla*
priceless child of radium which healed
or destroyed as the specialist desired.
In the meantime Fabian progressed.
Dr. Rochwarne, after specifying the fu
ture course of treatment, prepared to
return to Interlaken. Bernice saw him
in the study, his confrere. Dr. Roni,
remaining in the hall. The Swiss sur
geon place a tiny platinum bulb on
the study table, with meticulous care.
"We may safely predict Mr. Kromer’s
complete and early recovery,” he said
after a pause. "I am leaving the half
god In your charge,” he added signifi
cantly, "because the authorities at
Scotland Yard are offering a heavy re
ward for its recovers* - !”
Bernice suppressed an exclamation.
The old surgeon smoothed his brown
gloves delicately without meeting her
half-frightened glances.
“I have refrained from speaking of
the matter to D* Kromer,” he went on,
“I have refarined from speaking of
the matter to Mr. Kromer,” he went on,
"judging that you will reveal it to him
of your own accord, madame.”
“You are very good, Doctor Roch
warne. You have already guessed, no
doubt, that I have been driven into
desperate plights to help my husband.”
"I fear you have compromised your
self, madame, with the Japanese
scoundrel, Hammersho.”
Bernice flushed. "What would you
have done, Dr. Rochwarne? It was
Fabian’s life against—against one’s
scruples!”
The old man plucked at his glove
ends while his manner became gradu
ally colder. "You helped me, Mme.
Kromer, to accomplish the operation
of my life. For that reason I bear
with you. For that reason,” he con
tinued with increasing rigor, "I have
remained silent. You must know that
I have followed the result of the Engle-
heart inquiry with some interest. 1
know, too, Mme. Kromer, that if you
had spoken the truth at the inquest you
would have been arraigned for wilful
murder!”
He spoke dispassionately without
heat or gesture, his voice scarce rising
above a monotone.
Bernice pondered over his words, her
mind growing clearer now with each
intake of breath. She knew that his
statement was over stringent, yet
judged from his viewpoint the accusa
tion was justifiable. Engleheart’s death
had been caused by his own folly. The
fact that she had appropriated the Zeu
from his tobacco pouch had in no way
contributed to his end. It had' been
her good or evil fortune to be present
during Maurice’s last moments. More
over, she was not anxious to advocate
her innocence eveiTTo the man whose
skill and patience had saved Fabian’s
life.
And' so they parted.
Bernice sought Fabian in his room.
Rochwarne had forbiden him news
papers, but with the surgeon’s depart
ure there came an almost crying eager
ness for news of the outside world.
Bernice had never seen him so eager
ly alert. He was like one ejected sud
denly from a pit of darkness into the
maelstrom of life. His face, always
pale and inclined to immobility, had
grown vivid and clear. A consciousness
of returning health and power was man
ifest in each gesture and smile.
‘I’ve got to thank Rochwarne for
my lifed dear,” he said with his fingers
resting on his arm. "I shall send him
a check for £10,000, eh, Berny? Do
you think my life worth so much?”
He kissed her hand on the couch rail,
beside him, then looked up in slow won
der at her, cold, joyless face.
"Hullo, dear! What’s the matter?”
Bernice had turned away and was
staring blankly at little Imry standing
in the doorway.
The boy’s unexpected appearance sent
a thrill of terror through Bernice. How
he had been permitted to wander from
the nursery into Fabian’s private apart
ment was a circumstance which was
'never afterward explained.
A look of interest and amusement
crept into Fabian’s eyes as he regarded
the dumfounded boy. Always pas
sionately fond of pretty children, he
waved "nis hand invitingly for Imry to
enter.
"What is your name, little one?” he
asked, with Bernice’s hand still in his
own.
Imry seemed inclined to cry, but
something in Bernice’s frozen glance
checked the rising tears. "My name is
Imry Ingleheart,” he faltered. "I don’t
think I like this country, and these
funny English people.” His lips quiv
ered strangely.
"Imry,. Imry!” Febian repeated the
name, his glance wandering over the
boy’s rich clothes, and pretty features.
“Engleheart is a very good name.
Imry,” he vouchsafed at last. “What
country do you come from that you do
not like the English?”
“I come from Tokio. My father was
a captain. He had a ship and was al
most drowned . . . once!” Imry
crept closer into the room toward Ber
nice, his fascinated eyes drawing him
to the tiger head which surmounted the
rug at Fabian’s feet.
Bernice took his hand, a sense of suf
focation and unutterable misery en
shrouding her. She dared not look at
Fabian, she dared not lis to him.
He, too, had stretched out his hand
and was patting the boy’s head. And ‘n
that moment of blinding torture and
self-reproach she wondered how he
could remain so unsuspecting, so free
from all knowledge of her terror.
"I am glad to hear,” Fabian went
on, "that you are the son of a sailor.
Imry. It is a noble calling, the sea.”
Then leaning back on the couch he
turned to Bernice.
"How did the little chap come in
here? Does he belong to—to ”
"Me, Fabian. Imry is my son, mine
dear, mine . . . and, oh, please
don’t look at m.e like that, not like that,
Fabian!”
He sat forward on the couch; all the
color had gone from his face. It was
as though some one had struck him
a savage blow. She heard his sharp
expulsions of breath, and then worse
than all, the sudden slackening of his
hand ‘ on her arm, the cold withdrawal
that was like the passing from life to
dvath. \
She heard his voice through the dizzy,
sickening noises in her head, the voice
of Fabian, the business man and in
jured husband.
"You . . . had a whole year to
speak the truth, Bernice, a year of hap
piness without a single evil day to
prove me a tyrant or an unforgiving
comrade.”
He stared bleakly at the bewildered
Imry, his thin, nervous fingers spanning
I the couch arm, his chin thrust down,
i Bernice sat like death, yet unable to
control the wild rush of words that
streamed from her .fevered mind.
“I thought that Engleheart had gone
down with his ship. Perhaps . . .
you remember the loss of the Manhat
tan in the Sea of Formosa? He con
spired with a Japanese doctor, Ham
mersho, to deceive me. I believe that
Engleheart was drowned with his ship.
Even Imry had vanished. I discovered
him in Hammersho’s keeping and
brought him here while you were ill.’
Fabian’s lips were tight shut and the
tiny wrinkles about the mouth seemed
to twitch and throb. "So Engleheart
is alive?” he declared hoarsely. "Is he
in England?”
"He died two days ago, in a German
boarding house not far from here.”
“You met him frequently?”
"Once. He came to England with
the Japanese doctor, Hammersho. They
wanted money and sought me out.”
"Why did you not Cuiifide in me?”
"That is part of my sin, Fabian.
Even now I am not asking forgiveness.
I was pushed beyond my powers of re
sistance. Everything conspired to drag
me down. I could not fight those
Asiatic blackmailers. They were like
wolves, like wolves!”
Her sobbing awoke him from his
frozen Contemplation of the little figuro
standing with trembling lip near the
couch head. A moment «igo tne boy
had appeared the very embodiment of
cherubic sweetness and love. Bernice’s
onfusion had charged the atmosphere
with a tragic misery that ate into his
soul.
Imry, conscious of the sudden thun
der cloud which had burst over him,
stared at them both with frightened
eyes. Bernice held herself bravely.
Something in her manner prevented the
boy’s outburst of tears. Gently, very
gently she took his hand and led him
to the door.
Fabian sat rigid; his outspanning fin
gers had lost their grip on the couch
head. To have been hauled from the
shadow of death to face a «ltter domes
tic tragedy was more than his over
wrought mind could stand.
He did not call out as she l£ft the
room. The sound of her steps reached
him together with Imry’s unloosed chat
ter as they descended the stairs. Some
thing moved him to call out her name,
but the imp of perversity gripped, him
by the throat.
Only for Imry’s presence, he told
himself, Bernice’s confession might not
have struck as deeply. T-ne more beau
tiful the child, the more hateful every
thing appeared. If the little fellow hau
been less attractive, forgiveness, recon
ciliation might have been possible. The
boy stood for Engleheart’s dead love
and would always stand.
He rose form his seat somewhat
dizzy and uncertain of movement. The
sun streamed into the room and smote
his eyes like a naked blade.
What soulless perjurers women were,
he told himself. Nothing could equal
their rapacity of mind and body. He
had thought of Bernice as an angel of
goodness. She had stood for * every
thing which represented truth and the
higher ideals of the modern woman.
What a pitiful mistake he had made!
Only a few days before, when death
seemed inevitable, he had assigned all
his estates and wealth for her future
enjoyment! There had never been the
shadow of a suspicion in his mind con
cerning the boy Imry. It was incred
ible, unthinkable that she could have
held her secret so long!
Well, it was all done with now. She
could go her way and live her life un
hampered. Only he must never see
her again, or the face of Engleheart’s
son. The way was clear as Calvary.
And there must be no vaccilations.
He must be strong and escape her in
fluence while there was yet time. He
could allow her five, ten thousand a
year to gratify her artistic and social
desires. But they must not meet again.
In his bitter meditations he forgot to
ask himself the cause of Engleheart’s
sudden death. The knowledge of his
rival’s demise brought him no relief
from his pain. The man had lived, had
loved Bernice, and. had been loved in
return.
The servants moved about the house
like spectres. Bernice had gone to her
apartments to make ready for her de
parture, no doubt. He would not stay
her. All future communications could
be done through her solicitors. He was
not sure that he was morally right in
abandoning her, he was only conscious
that his aesthetic and artistic sensibili
ties had been outraged. He had always
visioned Bernice as a woman apart
from women, just as a flower differs
from trees and plants of coarser growth.
And while he had intensified her spiri
tual qualities, and offered her his
wealth and soul, she had been capable
of withholding from him the fact of her
littlo son’s existence.
In the midst of his sullen broodings
a servant announced Mr. Coombes. Fa
bian appeared glad of the old solici
tor’s coming. In the present instance
he felt that he needed sympathy and
advice.
Mr. Coombes'. exhibited his customary
cheerfulness in greeting his wealthy
client. He was delighted to hear that
Dr. Rochwarne had so completely re
stored a public benefactor to health,
etc., etc. Fabian listened to his pre
liminary chatter subconsciously aware
that affairs of greater Importance lay
beneath the old lawyer’s greetings.
Fabian indicated a chair near the
window, his American promptness of
manner' leading him almost instantly to
an open confession of his recent inter
view with Bernice. The old lawyer lis
tened as one already partly familiar with
the subject in hand, yet never once be
traying a too intimate knowledge of
his rich client’s affairs.
"I desire to end my present rela
tions with her,” Fabian concluded
hotly. • "I will not allow my .fortune
to be at the disposal of unprincipled
adventurers!”
Mr. Coombs looked up quickly from
his listening attitude. "Harsh words,
Mr. Kromer, applied to one who has
surrendered every principle except honor
to save the man she loves dearer than
life!”
"Save . . . What man?” Fabian
questioned almost sharply. "There has
been ‘nothing to save. Do you infer
that Bernice has made sacrifices on
my behalf?” he inquired coldly. "If
so, I fail to agree with you, sir!”
The old lawyer rubbed his glasses
Lone Bandit Falls From Train
With Two Bullet Wounds
Inflicted by Jesse M, Short,
Mine Owner, of Joplin, Mo,
KANSAS CITY, May 5.—Robbery of
the Joplin millionaire, Jesse M. Short,
was the primary object of the giant
bandit who held up a Kansas City
Southern passenger train in the Kansas
City suburbs early today, according to
the police theory.
After a pistol tight with Mr. Short
in the Pullman the robber fell oft the
train wounded, carrying $1,000 of Short’s
money. The mine owner was left lying
in his berth with three bullets in his
body. Physicians say Short will re
cover.
According to a telegram sent the po
lice today from Grand View, Mo., by C.
G. Gibson, conductor of the train, the
total amount obtained was $1,100 in
money and a diamond. Of this, Gibson
said Mr. Short lost $1,000; W.,J. Scafer,
Neck City, Mo., $65, and F. A. Seaman,
Eureka Springs, Arlt., $35 and a dta-
mond stud.
Conductor Gibson said the robber
must have been wounded seriously, as
he left clear trails of blood.
Bleeding from wounds he received in a
pistol battle with Short, the robber left
a trail of blood as, he fled. This enabled
officers to follow his tracks until he ar
rived at the Blue river, almost a mile
from the point wjiere he jumped from
the train. Here the trail stopped ab
ruptly and his pursuers expressed the
belief that he continued his flight in a
boat.
The train was just pulling out of the
depot when a tall man ran out of the
darkness of the railroad yards and
climbed up the steps of the observation
car. He had a handkerchief over the
lower part of his face and carried two
pistols.
Oscar Allen, a negro porter, who saw
him board the train, rushed out and or
dered him away.
The robber covered him with his pis
tol and said:
USES NEGRO PORTER.
"I’m going to put over a trick here.
You sit down there and be quiet. I will
need you.”
After the train had proceeded about
three miles the robber ordered Allen to
go ahead of him through the train. In
the sitting room of the observation car
were W. J. Scafe, of Neck City, Mo., and
F. A. Seaman, of Eureka Springs, Ark.
The robber's voice trembled as he de
manded their valuables, but they offered
no resistance and gave him money and
jewelry amounting to about $200.
Preceded by the frightened negro, the
robber then entered the chair car, where
there were about a dozen passengers, all
men.
"Hold up your hands,” was the com
mand with which the robber greeted
them. The passengers readily complied.
The bandit passed along collecting their
money and jewelry.
The robbery of the chair car was ac
complished within five minutes and the
surprised passengers, obeyed the final in
junction of the robber to sit down and
remain quiet.
The Pullman car was entered next. Art-
er robbing two passengers from whom he
secured small amounts of money, the
robber came to the berth occupied by
Short.
MILLIONAIRE SHOOTS BANDIT.
"Give me your money,” the robber
demanded in a whisper as he shook
the sleeping man. When awakened suf
ficiently to realize tlie import of the
command, Short handed over $1,000 and
a large diamond stud. As the robber
turned to leave, Short seized a revolver
and fired through the curtains. The
robber returned the fire and both men
emptied their weapons, each shooting
blindly through the curtains, which were
perforated by almost a dozen bullets.
One bullet struck Short’s forehead, an-

BT U. 5.
With President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan Away From
Capital Recognition Given
SPOKANE, Wash., May 5.—Akhay
Chinese republic was formally recogniz
ed today by the United States. Charge
Williams, at Pekin, cabled that he had
delivered the formal recognition, as he
was authorized to do upon complete or
ganization of the new government.
Neither President Wilson nor Secre
tary of State Bryan are in the capital
today.
This government’s action has cre
ated an interesting international situ
ation. It brings to the point the in
tentions of the five other powers, par
ties to the six-power loan negotiation,
from which the United States recently
withdrew, announcing its purpose to
recognize China and urging the others
to do so.
It is known that some of them at
least required more than a mere or
ganization of a national legislature and
that they originally were disposed to
await installation of a constitutional
president.
On the other hand, the recent action
of Yuan Shi Kai in concluding a loan
for $125,000,000 with the five-power
group is expected to prove a powerful
incentive to these governments to sup
port Yuan Shi Kai by joining in Chi
na’s recognition.
The formal recognition of the Uni
ted States was extended when Charge
Williams delivered, to President Yuan
Shi Kai the following message from
President Wilson:
"The government and people of the
United States (\f America having abun
dantly testified, their sympathy with
the people of China upon their assump
tion of the attributes and powers of
self-government, deem it opportune at
this time, when the representative na
tional assembly has met to discharge
the high duty of setting the Seal of
full accomplishment upon the aspira
tions of Chinese people, that I extend,
in the name of my government and of
my countrymen, a greeting of welcome
to the new China thus entering into
the family of nations.
“In taking this step I entertain the
confident hope and expectation that in
perfecting a republican form of gov
ernment, the Chinese nation will attain
to the highest degree of development
and well being and that under the new
rule all the established obligations of
China which pass to the provisional
government will in turn pass to and be
observed by the government established
by the assembly.”
President Yuan Shi Kai responded:
"In the name of the republic of Chi
na I thank you most heartily for the
message of recognition. The expres
sion of greeting and welcome which
it conveys at once testifies to the
American spirit of mutual helpfulness,
and adds another brilliant page to the
history of seventy years of uninterrupt
ed friendly / intercourse between China
and the United States.
"Though unfamiliar with‘the repub
lican form of government, the Chinese
people are yet fully convinced of the
soundness of the principles which
underlies it and which is so luminously
represented by your glorious common
wealth. The sole aim of the govern
ment which they have established
therefore is and will be to preserve this
form of government and to perfect its
workings.
HINDU IS ADMITTED
TO U. S. CITIZENSHIP
Akhay Kumar Mozumdar Isthe
First of His Race to Become
American Citizen
WASHINGTON, May 5.—The new
Kumar Mozumdar, a Hindu of high
caste, today became a citizen of the
United States. He Is the first of his
race to whom citizenship has been
granted. Two years of litigation to
that end was brought to a close when
United States District, Judge Rudkin
held that Mozumdar was a "free white
person,” and entitled to American citi
zenship.
Mozumdar is a native of Calcutta,
India, and a Yogi philosopher. His ap
plication for citizenship previously
had been denied by judge Rudkin. The
case was reopened when the court
appointed outside counsel to investi
gate.
Previous legal rulings were looked
into with little avail. Few instances
of Hindus applying for citizenship
have ever come up before the naturali
zation department.
Mozumdar’s eligibility to citizenship
hinged on the question of whether he
Is a "free white person,” as used in
the original naturalization act.
Judge Rudkin, in his opinion, says:
"In the original naturalization act
the expression ‘free white persons’ was
doubtless primarily intended to in
clude the white emigrant from north
ern Europe with whom the congress o>
that day was familiar, and to exclude
Indians and persons of African de
scent or nativity.
"Beyond this perhaps congress had
no definite object In view. It could
not have foreseen the vast immigra
tion problems with which the govern
ment is now confronted, or the difficul
ties which might hamper and embar
rass the courts in the administration
of the law.
"But whatever the original intent
may have been, it is now settled by
the great weight of authority, at least,
that it was the intention of congress to
confer the privilege of naturalization
upon members of the Caucasian race
only.
"It is likewise true that certain of
the natives of India belong to that
race, although the line of demarcation
between different castes and classes
may be dim and difficult of ascertain
ment.
"I fully appreciate the fact that the
lineage of the applicant in these mat
ters must rest largely, if not entirely,
upon his own testimony, and that the
courts may be imposed upon, but they
must administer the law as best they
can until congress sees fit to prescribe
a more definite rule for their guidance.
"The testimony in this case satisfies
me that the applicant has brought him
self within the provisions of the natu
ralization acts, and he will be ad
mitted to citizenship accordingly, upon
the taking of the oath prescribed by
law.”
